Sensory Resources for Parents: Books, Toys, Equipment

Parents often ask me for my favorite Sensory Resources. I recently did a parent workshop to speak about OT tips and trick for children with Sensory Processing Difficulties. I decided to put together a simple list of my go-to books, toys, and equipment for Sensory Processing. So here it is!
